    If you're committed to growing as a professional, boy have I got a podcast for you! The Local Maximum is easily the best podcast I've discovered in at least 5 years. Max's insights help you develop the mental models necessary for success in a world of algorithms and seeming uncertainty. While the show is not focused on a single programming language or software, you will not find a better "sherpa" for the journey into backend development thinking. 5-Stars for Max!!
